"We’ve demonstrated conclusively that saving nearly everyone who dies of the flu is within our power. To do nothing now... would seem irresponsible.

@brianmrosenthal @IrvingSwisher Also as @typesfast pointed out on the recent Odd Lots, this system of paying the port truckers by the container, as opposed to by the hour, is now contributing to bottlenecks, since in this economy those workers have better options. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-10-14/transcript-ryan-petersen-on-how-global-supply-chains-have-gotten-even-worse?sref=vuYGislZ

"As of 2015, one quarter of the population in the United States had no primary health care provider to turn to for trusted advice."
"The testimony we’ve seen from unvaccinated people in their last days with Covid, sometimes voiced directly by them from their hospital beds, gets at some of the core truths of vaccine hesitancy. They are pictures of confusion, not conviction."
America, you did health care wrong again:

@jamesmoran @neilhimself Basically, there's two genders - male and political. Much as there's two colours - white and political - and two sexualities - straight and political.

…Lemme just caveat this before someone who doesn’t know who I am decides to jump bad in these comments: Per a plethora of those raggedy ass standardized/IQ tests y’all idolize, I’m smarter than all but about .01% of the human race…

Normally I'd just RT both of these, but I thought it was important to preserve that these showed up adjacent in my timeline:
The scandal at the Grand Strategy Program at Yale illustrates how shallow ... discourse about cancel culture ... really is. ... who really has the power to deform academic culture and make academics do their bidding: [donors] or some protesting students?

Just discovered Katalin Karikó's story in Nature and her role in the mRNA vaccines. Her tenacity in the 90s led to a discovery that we all benefit from today.

This is frankly terrifying. *1 in 21* children of secondary school age had SARS-CoV-2 the wk ending 25th Sept. Rises continuing. Tell me again that schools don't 'drive' transmission and we don't need mitigations in schools. To all those who've been in denial - this is on you.

Everything they say about Congress---it's hopelessly divided, all they do is bicker, too many wacky members with crazy ideas---are all actually symptoms of its strengths. Representation. Diversity. Deliberation.
